Dr. Abdel-Mageed long-standing translational research interests focus on molecular determinants mechanisms underpinning prostate cancer progression, biomarker and therapeutic strategies for high-risk prostate cancer CRPC. To this end, one of his current research aims at understanding the role of tumor exosome-stem cell axis in priming castration-adapted’ tumors through “intracrine” production of androgens implicated in cancer health disparities. Recently, identification of biomarker signature for high-risk prostate cancer has been interrogated through an NGS-based liquid biopsy strategy. Finally, his lab examines the efficacy of lead exosome inhibitors(identified by high-throughput screening of human approved drugs) as re-purposed novel adjuvant therapeutic approach for advanced prostate cancer.
